Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tight seal system for the packaging of products, in particu lar for food packaging.
- the infeed station for manual or automatic loading of the product, equipped with interconnected pushers and driven by a chain or by an endless conveyor belt.
- the film station for unwinding the material used to wrap the product wrapping from a reel.
- the forming station (or folding box) for conveying the film towards the subsequent station , establishing the form of the final bag inside which the packaged product will be contained .
- the longitudinal welding station (consisting of one or more pairs of wheels closed at constant pressu re and heated to a predetermined temperature) for the first welding of the film , parallel to the surface on which the product slides along its direction of feed , so as to produce a sort of continuous open tunnel .
- the transverse welding station (consisting of one or more pairs of jaws closed cyclically under pressure and heated to a predetermined temperature) for the second welding of the film , orthogonal to the direction of feed of the product, so as to produce a closed bag sealed for the whole of its length and at its ends.
- a shear blade is inserted inside the welding jaws to enable simultaneous separation of two adjacent products.
- the outfeed station for ejecting the product packaged in a bag .
- the product loose or transported in supporting containers arriving from the infeed unit, reaches the folding-box forming u nit pushed by carriers on a moving chain or conveyed on a specific belt.
- a photocell detects the presence of the product according to a predefined position and frequency, suitably adjusting the film unwind ing speed arou nd the forming unit and the driving speed of the longitudinal sealing wheels, cyclic and instantaneous closing of the transverse sealing jaws is synch ronized with feed of the product, ensuring a final package wrapped around the product according to the real length and width measurements.
- the tightness of the tight seal is a very important specification in order to ensu re the tightness of the package inside which the product, generally preserved in modified atmosphere, is contained.
- the transverse sealing station is particularly important.
- the sealing period is longer, as the cou pled jaws trace a linear line in space , parallel to the packaging plane and opposite the direction of feed of the product, so that the combination of the sealing path with the jaws closed and the reverse path to return to the initial position with the jaws open defines a parallelepiped in space , giving rise to the term box-motion .
- a suitable combination of pressure, temperature and sealing time enables a correct melting process of the adhesive su rface of wh ich the film used for packaging is composed .
- the temperature and pressu re variables depend on the constructional characteristics of sizing, respectively electrical and mechan ical , while a somewhat critical variant in th is type of application is the sealing time, as it is strictly linked to the production capacity of these machines: h igh production rates and consequently a h igh number of cycles impl ies a proportional reduction in the duration of the period in which the welding surface is heated and pressed at high temperatu re.
- transverse sealing solutions are largely related to the effect of the mechanical vibrations that derive theref rom .
- a tight seal system for the packaging of products comprising a transverse welding station of packaging sheets comprising: a first pai r of discs connected centrally to a first axis; said first pair of discs rotating about said first axis; at least one first bar is positioned peripheral ly between said fi rst pair of discs; a first welding jaw is associated with said at least one first bar; said first bar rotating so that said first jaw is always facing in the same direction ; a second pair of discs connected centrally to a second axis; said second pair of discs rotating about said second axis; at least one second bar is positioned peripherally between said second pair of discs; a second welding jaw is associated with said at least one second bar; said second bar rotating so that said second jaw is always facing in the same direction ; said first jaw and said second jaw are facing each other so that, rotating said first pair of d iscs and said second pair of discs, said first jaw and said second jaw come
- the seal pressure maintained for a certain rectil inear length at a certain temperature, compatible with the type of material used for packaging , for a certain length of time, enables an extended sealing operation to be obtained, guaranteeing the tightness of the weld .
- the relative trajectory of the contact-welding point takes a recti linear trend at constant speed for a certain instant of time .
- the pressure exerted by the springs and the temperature controlled and imposed on the jaws ensu re sealing of the packaging material .

- Fig. 4 shows a front view of a welding head of an automatic flow wrapper packaging and sealing machine for products according to the present invention
- Fig. 5 shows a front view of a the gear system for operation of a welding head of an automatic flow wrapper packaging and sealing machine for products according to the present invention.
- an automatic flow wrapper packaging and sealing machine for products comprises a belt 10 for infeed of the product to be packaged, which passes through the film supply and forming station 11, which comprises two reels 12, one upper and one lower, on which the sealing film is wound.
- the product wrapped by the film then passes to a longitudinal welding station 13 and to a transverse welding station 14.
- An outfeed conveyor belt 15 conveys the packaged product out of the machine.
- the transverse welding station 14 comprises a first pair of supporting discs 100 arranged one in front of the other.
- This first pair of discs 100 is pivoted and can rotate about a shaft 101 that joins the two centres of said first pair of discs 100.
- the shaft 101 and the bars 102 and 103 project externally to the discs 100 on one side and each end is connected to a relevant gear, which as a whole form a first epicyclic gear unit 104.
- a structure 110 composed of a jaw 111, positioned under the bars 102 and 103 and facing downwards.
- the jaw 111 comprises a plurality of pins 112 passing through the bars 102 and 103, terminating with a fixing bushing 113, which is positioned externally to the bars 102 and 103, with respect to the jaw 111, and which extends for a predetermined distance beyond the bars 102 and 103.
- the bushings 113 comprise an upper portion 114 having a reduced diameter with respect to their lower portion 115.
- Two pins 120 preferably lateral with respect to the pins 112, secured externally to the two bars 102 and 103, with respect to the jaw 111, support a bar 121 parallel to the bars 102 and 103 and external thereto.
- the transverse welding station comprises a second pair of supporting discs 130 arranged one in front of the other, positioned under the first pair of discs 100.
- This second pair of discs 130 is pivoted and can rotate about a shaft 131 that joins the two centres of said second pair of discs 130.
- the shaft 131 and the bars 132 and 133 project externally to the discs 130 on one side and each end is connected to a relevant gear, which as a whole form a second epicyclic gear unit 134.
- a structure 135 composed of a jaw 136, positioned above the bars 132 and 133 and facing upwards.
- the jaws 111 and 136 also perform the welding and cutting operation of the packaging film, In fact, they comprise, in a known manner, shear blades and heated welding means.
- a motor 150 operates the epicyclic gears 104 and 134.
- the motor 150 operates a gear 151 that, by means of a belt 152 and a belt tensioner roller 153, rotates a gear 154 that is secured to the shaft 101.
- a gear 155 On the shaft 101 there is positioned a gear 155, which by means of two idle gears 156 rotates a gear 157 positioned on the shaft 131.
- the gear 155 also transmits motion to a gear 160 secured to a shaft, aligned with the bar 102, which also supports the gear 161.
- the gear 161 transfers motion to a gear 162 that rotates by means of a bearing about the shaft 101.
- the gear 162 transfers motion to the two gears 163 and 164 that respectively rotate the two bars 102 and 103.
- the gear 157 transmits motion to a gear 170 secured to a shaft, aligned with the bar 133, which also supports the gear 171.
- the gear 171 transfers motion to a gear 172 that rotates by means of a bearing about the shaft 131.
- the gear 172 transfers motion to the two gears 173 and 174 that respectively rotate the two bars 133 and 132.
- rotating collectors 180 (one for each axis) that supply electricity to the jaws 111 and 136, to weld and cut the film.
- the motor 150 supplies motion to the epicyclic gears 104 and 134 so that the discs 100 and 130 are rotated, transporting with their rotational motion the bars 102 and 103 (upper) and the bars 132 and 133 (lower).
- the synchronism dictated by the epicyclic gears 104 and 134 is such that the bars 102, 103, 132 and 133 rotate but the jaws 111 are always facing downwards and the jaws 136 are always facing upwards.
- this synchronism is set so that the upper jaws meet and are aligned with the lower jaws along a vertical axis Y that joins the centres of the bars 101 and 131.
- the jaws 111 and the jaws 136 are positioned on the bars 102. 103, 132 and 133, and spaced from one another, so that the active surfaces (arranged against each other in pairs) meet along a longitudinal plane X placed in the direction in which the products are conveyed well before reaching the vertical axis Y that joins the centres of the bars 101 and 131, and detach from each other well after the vertical axis Y. More precisely, the jaws meet and detach when the radius joining the bar 101 and the bar 102 form an angle ⁇ with respect to the vertical axis Y of around -30° and +30°.
- the jaws 111 and the jaws 136 remain joined together to be able to perform their welding and cutting function for a considerable time (variable according to the rotation speed of the discs 100 and 130) to allow a suitable operation.
- the joining point thereof does not remain in the plane X but is raised and lowered slightly, during welding and cutting, as the lower jaws 136 are fixed while the upper jaws 111, due to the presence of the pins 112 and the springs 122, can perform a vertical movement.
- the jaw 136 To be able to meet the jaw 111 before the axis Y, the jaw 136 has a length that reaches the axis X with an angle ⁇ equivalent to -30°. In this point it meets the film and the jaw 111.
- the jaw 111 By advancing the discs 100 and 130 the jaw 111 yields to the thrust of the jaw 136 (fixed) due to the springs 1 22, and therefore the joining point of the jaws 1 36 and 1 1 1 is raised slightly, reaches its maximum height in the point in wh ich it meets the axis Y and is then lowered to retu rn to the axis X when the angle ⁇ is equivalent to +30° .
- the upper jaws 1 1 1 and lower jaws 1 36 can meet before the vertical axis Y and detach after this axis. During the contact time between these , the springs 1 22 exert a force to maintain the jaws in close contact, so that weld ing takes place. I n this time, the upper jaws 1 1 1 have an upward movement thrust by the lower jaws and produced due to slid ing of the upper jaws 1 1 1 by means of the pins 1 1 2.
- the masses move with a constant linear speed during the sealing step, ensuring a high quality seal.
- I n an alternative embod iment a structure can be arranged on the lower bars 1 02 and 1 03, such as the structu re 1 1 0 inclusive of pins and springs, so as to move the joining point of the jaws 1 1 1 with the jaws 1 36 along the plane X.
- the materials used to produce the machine and the dimensions can be any, according to requ i rements and to the state of the art.
